How to use ChatGPT for SOPs without documenting a fantasy
SOPs go wrong when you document the process you wish you had. Voice-dump today’s reality, generate a checklist, then label it v0.1.
- 01
Capture the messy truth
Voice note or bullet how the task actually happens — including the awkward bits.
- 02
Ask for a verb-led checklist
Steps with owners as roles, definition of done, and common failure modes. No policy essay.
- 03
Answer the open questions
ChatGPT will invent process gaps. Fill them yourself before anyone trains on the SOP.
